If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
Suzuki used to offer a gasket kit but it's no longer available. You should be able to piece together what you need by ordering individual gaskets from your favorite dealership source though. Or get the part numbers off Parts Outlaw or similar and go hunting on ebay. Aftermarket gasket kits vary in quality from passable to pure junk and it's false economy most of the time purchasing one.

Haha you are always the first to reply, it's great. Yeah I was hoping there would be a kit, would have been cheaper but it costs to do it right. Some say vesrah is a good brand but at the same time hurd its crap.
Vesrah has not received many positive reviews, especially when investigating for the 650, specifically. On the positive side of not having the full kit available, you can order just what you need, and not have a selection of gaskets sitting around unused.
I have a box full of gaskets, most of which I ordered through Parts Outlaw, and some through Partzilla. The way the 650 runs, I won't have to dig into it for a long time.

I have heard that the order of preference is: OEM, Vesrah, Cometic, Athena. There might be some discussion or arguement about the middle positions, but everybody agrees that OEM is best. Many might even argue whether Athena even deserves mention, let alone being put on the list. 
A couple of years ago, I got Vesrah gaskets for my 850. They failed soon enough, OEM gaskets replaced them.

I'm sure one day I will have a box full also. I will have to take a look into to all the oem sites and see the lists of everything I need.
